A Survey of Methods for Constructing 3D Urban Models From Point Clouds
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.The survey outlines a general process for constructing 3D models from point clouds and categorizes the methods based on their use of templates, basic surface primitives, hybrid approaches, or linear primitives. Additionally, the survey reviews the datasets and benchmarks that are essential for testing and training the developed methods.
